Daft Punk is the latest group to get photographed by sleazeball Polaroid photographer Terry Richardshon. Don't worry, this doesn't mean we have to see the Random Access Memories creators' bits and pieces. The robots behind the smash hit "Get Lucky" kept their clothes (and helmets) on, except for when they let Richardson don the iconic headgear himself. Check out the photos below: Read More »
